Check out this hat from Chipotle:

It’s cool. It’s a style I’d wear - it’s a style my peers wear. It’s the kind of hat you find at trendy stores. This part of Chipotle’s uniform is even for sale on their website!

Now, think about the hats issued as a part of most uniforms. They’re cheap, institutional and ugly.  They’re the kind of hats that sports clubs give away for free at stadiums and people still won’t wear them.

I’ve watched countless struggles to force Gen Whys to wear their mandated uniforms, but Chipotle’s hat is so cool I want to wear it and I don’t even work there. Make your uniform something young employees wear anyway and it won’t be much of struggle to get them to wear it.
